FrogWatch USA is a nationwide community science program supporting wetland conservation through volunteer monitoring of amphibian populations. Participants learn how to identify and report local frog and toad calls, contributing valuable data to scientists and conservationists. The program is led by the Akron Zoo and includes more than 140 chapters across the United States. The Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District and the Rivanna Conservation Alliance have partnered to establish the Central Virginia Chapter. The Nature Conservancy encourages volunteers to participate and collect data at its nature preserves and protected sites. Training includes: - A presentation on identifying frog and toad calls. - Instructions on establishing a personal FrogWatch monitoring site. - A call identification quiz.
